Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 452 Greed and Power



Fifteen days had passed since the initial attack of the Zol Clan.

In the succeeding days, they began executing more attacks, leaving behind a trail of devastation that painted a grim picture of their mission to annihilate mankind.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Buildings crumbled, streets lay in ruins, and the once vibrant urban landscapes now echoed with the haunting silence of destruction.

Experience new tales on empire

The world watched in horror as the Zol Clan's ferocity manifested in the shattered remnants of civilization, a stark reminder of the dire consequences of their unchecked aggression.

Initially, Shao Mi's family attempted to stop them, but after suffering significant losses, they opted to withdraw.

They feared the other families, recognizing the risk of mutual destruction between her group and the Zol Clan.

To calm the masses, governments worldwide decided to disclose the truth. They acknowledged the existence of the gifted and assured everyone that humanity had the means to safeguard its interests.

Cerebrum stepped into the limelight, unveiling videos that highlighted their cutting-edge technology and aimed to reassure the public.

They began deploying agents outfitted in advanced combat suits to replace law enforcement personnel. Additionally, they introduced new technology into the market, diverting the attention of the masses.

To control the narrative, they restricted the flow of information in select regions, downplaying the severity of the Zol Clan attacks.

The only one that was not under Cerebrum web of influence was Japan , after the event happened , Yuki , or now well known as Empress Yuki rallied the Shaman clans under her banner.

She tried to reason out with Japan's government that there was no need to rely on Cerebrum , but they did not listen.

In the end, she eradicated the entire government and seized control of everything.

At first, the populace of Japan hesitated, unsure of whether to align with her.

However, after she showcased their overwhelming power, they quickly accepted her, unanimously agreeing to follow her command.

Now, the streets were patrolled by individuals armed with katana blades, ensuring order was maintained in every aspect of daily life.

As for the powerful families, they remained hidden and waited.

They couldn't care less about Cerebrum because they knew that whichever organization won the upcoming war would own it.

Regarding Empress Yuki, they assessed that following the union of all the shaman clans, their collective strength was enough to do some serious damage.

With the world plunged into chaos, none of them could afford to squander manpower in a relatively small nation like Japan.

Located in Italy, the Cerebrum European HQ stands as a grand Gothic palace. Situated on a serene lake, this ancient structure hid its true nature.

Beneath its weathered exterior lies a cutting-edge underground base, the nerve center of Cerebrum operations in Europe.

Currently, the primary topic of discussion centered on the recent incident.

At this moment, they were not overly preoccupied with the Zol Clan; rather, their main concern was in anticipating the aftermath once the Zol Clan was eradicated.

"The situation in Asia has escalated quickly. The loss of the Main HQ will definitely have an impact on our operations there," said the European Branch Director while glancing over a holographic map of Asia projected above the conference table.

"Right now, our main concern is figuring out what to do with the Asian branch," he explained. "Sure, there technology might be the weakest but Asia is huge. If we try to take over, you can bet the American Branch will put up a fight for their piece of the pie."

"Perhaps we should consider establishing a new branch in a neighboring country. Japan, for instance, has been somewhat disconnected from the rest of Asia recently. They might be more open to negotiation."The European Branch Head of Intelligence spoke up.

The Head Director nodded thoughtfully.

"That's a possibility. We'll have to tread carefully, though. Japan has its own internal issues to deal with, and we don't want to provoke them unnecessarily. We'll need to gather more intelligence on the situation before making any decisions."

The meeting continued, discussing various strategies and countermeasures for the ongoing conflict.

The room was filled with the low hum of voices and the clatter of keyboards as officers and analysts exchanged information and shared their insight.

In the end, they decided to visit and engage in discussions with the remaining representatives from Cerebrum Asia.

Rather than seizing control outright, they decided to offer support while gradually expanding their influence across the continent, effectively devouring it from within.

Meanwhile, beneath the Pentagon, the American Branch strategized their own maneuvers, preparing to defend their interests amidst the unfolding events.

"It's clear that the Europe branch is targeting Asia," said the American Branch Director, her voice echoing through the underground bunker.

"We need to send in more agents, establish new bases, and strengthen our alliances with local governments." She added

"And what about the situation in Asia?" asked a senior analyst, studying data on a holographic display.

"Reports indicate that the minor branches there is losing control, and the country could descend into chaos. We need to consider how we can maintain stability there while also asserting our influence." He added.

"If they were to fail, I'm quite certain Lady Shao Mi would assume leadership, and it would be bad to offend her" one of the directors chimed in.

"Yes, that's a critical concern," the Branch Director replied. "We'll need to tread carefully. Our agents must be careful. And we must also avoid provoking the European Branch too much; we don't want another confrontation like the one in the Middle East." One of the director added.

Both the American and European branch actually tried to get countries that has oil under them . And some skirmish began between both sides.

Despite the looming threat posed by the Zol Clan, the unchecked greed of others remained a far more troubling concern.

As the meeting progressed, plans were made and counter-plans were devised.

The American Branch knew that they had to act quickly and decisively if they were to maintain their position as the strongest.

The stakes were high, and any misstep could have dire consequences for their global influence.
